Working Fire in Baltimore...1-25-14 Pimlico

As I left work this morning around 6:30AM a box was struck out with a working fire assignment in the 5200 block of Cuthbert Avenue in the Pimlico section of northwest Baltimore. Even though its a way off from where I was I took it in. Most of the fire was knocked when I got there, but I did get some shots:

They opened up an exterior wall and I got to see a little fire:

They knocked it down from the inside quick:

The sky looked pretty cool as the sun came up:

A little brighter, it only lasted a few minutes:

On to the porch roof for a little truck work:

The second floor lit back off for a little bit for me:

This has been the order of the day for the past few days:

Here's my buddies from Engine 20, who got the first water on the fire:

Icicles and snow everywhere.

 

 

Thats it for now! Thanks for looking.

That's impressive Howard considering 20's not even on the assignment up there.  6th due engine at best.  The boys from the 5th must have slipped up this morning.

What do the Red and Blue Helmets signify ?

Red is for Captain and Blue for Lieutenant.
